On October 7, 2018, we celebrated 7 special women who together have contributed 450 years of service in their religious lives.
Sisters Rosemary Carroll, Jackie O’Brien, Glenna Hassett and Irene Morrow each celebrated 70 years of religious life. Sisters Catherine Singbush and Alma Thorne celebrated 60 years and Sister Rita Godon celebrated 50 years.
In her toast, Sr. Sharon Miller speaks of these special women
70 years....filled with the energies of Fall, energies of friendship, you gently hold us with your sympathetic care and tenderheartedness remind us that we are never totally alone.
60 years...you bring energies of Summer...boundless compassion, giving your life freely! You are strong, courageous, creative, loving beings - willing to share your truth with all.
50 years...you reflect the Spring mornings of our spirit! You gently bring us to attentiveness...insisting on our rising to Presence...attentively greeting our inner Light!
These women have been in various ministries from education, health care, spiritual, music, and so many more. We pray in gratitude for their years of service and dedication in service to God’s people.
